MySQL -> PostgreSQL conversion issue

Hi

I have the following rather complicated SQL which works under MySQL but fails
under PostgreSQL 8.3. The SQL is generated by A2Billing
(http://www.asterisk2billing.org/cgi-bin/trac.cgi) The issue is the following
part of the SQL:

as tf on tf.dnid=substr(cdr.dnid,1,length(tf.dnid))

where tf.dnid is a bigint and cdr.dnid is varchar(40). The error returned is
ERROR: function length(bigint) does not exist at character 2521
2010-10-29 13:34:27 NZDT HINT: No function matches the given name and
argument types. You might need to add explicit type casts.

I have tried adding explicit casts:

tf.dnid = substr(cdr.dnid, 1, length(cast(td.dnid) as varchar(40)))
which complains with
ERROR: operator does not exist: bigint = text at character 2502

and

tf.dnid = cast(substr(cdr.dnid, 1, length(cast(td.dnid) as varchar(40))) as
bigint)
which complains with
ERROR: invalid input syntax for integer: "dnid"

What would be the best way to convert this to work under PostgreSQL?

The complete log entry is given below:

Thanks
